Your machine is compatible with ResMed's F20 and N20 series masks
and with the AirFit P10 for AirMini. Make sure all parts and accessories
used with the machine are compatible. For compatibility information,
refer to www.resmed.com for more information.

English 3
Your AirMini machine is designed to work with ResMed’s AirMini app.
However, the AirMini app is not essential to operate the machine. For
more information on the AirMini app, refer to Using your machine with
the AirMini app or the AirMini app Patient eHelp.

HumidX and HumidX Plus


The HumidX and HumidX Plus are waterless humidifiers. These are
designed to provide more comfort by improving the moisture level in
the air you breathe and offering relief from possible dryness.
The HumidX is a good starting point for finding the right level of
humidification. The HumidX Plus will improve the humidity level further
and is useful when the ambient humidity level is very low (eg, high
altitudes, on an aircraft).
The HumidX and HumidX Plus can be used with the N20 connector for
AirMini and AirFit P10 for AirMini only.
The HumidX and HumidX Plus must be replaced within 30 days of
opening the HumidX/HumidX Plus pack.

Setting up and starting therapy


Using your mask
Before you set up your machine, make sure you use a compatible
mask. For a full list of compatible masks for this device, see the
Mask/Device Compatibility List on
www.resmed.com/downloads/masks. If you do not have internet
access, please contact your ResMed representative.
For information on fitting your mask, refer to the mask user guide.
Use your AirMini machine only as directed by your physician or
healthcare provider.

1. Plug the power supply unit
into the machine and the
power outlet. The connector
has an angled edge so that
the power cord can only be
inserted into the machine
one way.
2. Connect the gray end of the
AirMini tubing firmly to the
air outlet.

Add optional humidification


(for N20 or AirFit P10 for
AirMini only)
To insert the HumidX or HumidX
Plus:
1. Open the connector by
gently twisting it.
2. Hold the HumidX/HumidX
Plus at the sides, with the
colored side pointing down
and insert it.
3. Gently push together the
connector and twist until it
locks in place.

English 5
Connect your mask
1. Fit your mask as instructed in the mask user guide.

Comfort features
Ramp Time, Pressure Relief and SmartStart are enabled on your
machine.

Ramp Time
Designed to make the beginning of therapy more comfortable, Ramp
Time is the period during which pressure gradually increases from a
lower start pressure to the prescribed treatment pressure.

Pressure Relief
When Pressure Relief is enabled and turned on, you may find it easier
to breathe out. This can help you get used to therapy.
Note: Pressure Relief must first be enabled by your provider.

SmartStart
When SmartStart is turned on, therapy starts automatically when you
breathe into your mask.

SmartStop
When SmartStop is turned on, therapy stops automatically after a few
seconds when you remove your mask.

Changing comfort features


Your AirMini machine has been set up for your needs by your provider,
but you may find that you want to make small adjustments to comfort
settings to make your therapy more comfortable.
For more information about comfort settings, or for information on
changing these settings, refer to the AirMini app Patient eHelp.

Cleaning and maintenance
It is important that you regularly clean your AirMini machine to make
sure you receive optimal therapy. The following sections will help you
with disassembly, cleaning and checking your machine.

WARNING
• As part of good hygiene, always follow cleaning instructions.
Some cleaning products may damage the air tubing and affect
its function, or leave harmful residual vapours that could be
inhaled if not rinsed thoroughly.
• The AirMini connectors and AirFit P10 for AirMini contain a vent
system to prevent carbon dioxide build-up in the mask. The vent
system must be kept clean and clear of contamination in order
to function correctly. Blocking or modifying the vent system
may result in excessive carbon dioxide rebreathing.
• Regularly clean your AirMini tubing, connectors and mask
components to receive optimal therapy and to prevent the
growth of germs that can adversely affect your health.
• Regularly inspect the HumidX/HumidX Plus and follow the
cleaning and maintenance instructions to prevent the growth of
germs that can adversely affect your health.

CAUTION
If any visible deterioration of a system component is apparent
(cracking, discoloration, tears etc.), the component should be
discarded and replaced.

General warnings and cautions

WARNING
• Make sure that you arrange the air tubing so that it will not twist
around the head or neck.
• Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces.
• Make sure the power cord and plug are in good condition and
the equipment is not damaged.
• If you notice any unexplained changes in the performance of the
machine, if it is making unusual sounds, if the machine or the
power supply are dropped or mishandled, or if the enclosure is
broken, discontinue use and contact your care provider or your
ResMed Service Center.
• Do not open or modify the machine. There are no user
serviceable parts inside. Repairs and servicing should only be
performed by an authorized ResMed service agent.
• Beware of electrocution. Do not immerse the machine, power
supply or power cord in water. If liquids are spilled into or onto
the machine, unplug the machine and let the parts dry. Always
unplug the machine before cleaning and make sure that all parts
are dry before plugging it back in.
• Do not use with oxygen. Any sources of oxygen must be located
more than 1 m away from the machine to avoid risk of fire and
burns.
• Do not perform any maintenance tasks while the machine is in
operation.
• Use only AirMini masks and accessories that allow for normal
breathing to avoid asphyxiation.
• The use of accessories other than those specified for the
machine is not recommended. This may result in increased
electromagnetic emissions or decreased immunity of the
machine and result in improper operation.

English 21
• The machine should not be used adjacent to or stacked with
other equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the
machine should be observed to verify normal operation in the
configuration in which it will be used.
• The F20, N20 and P10 connectors for AirMini are fitted with
vents. The F20 connector for AirMini is also fitted with an AAV.
The AAV and vents have specific safety functions to prevent
carbon dioxide build-up in the mask. The AAV and vents should
be kept clean and not covered or blocked. The connectors
should not be used if the vent or AAV are damaged as they will
not be able to perform their safety functions. The connectors
should be replaced if the valves of the vent or AAV are
damaged, distorted or torn.
• The machine is not intended to be operated by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities without adequate supervision by a person
responsible for the patient’s safety.
• The device has not been tested or certified for use in the vicinity
of X-ray, CT or MRI equipment. Do not bring the device within
13 ft (4 m) of X-ray or CT equipment. Never bring the device into
an MR environment.

CAUTION
• Use only ResMed AirMini parts, masks and accessories with the
machine. Non-ResMed AirMini parts may reduce the
effectiveness of the treatment, may result in excess carbon
dioxide rebreathing and/or damage the machine. For
compatibility information, refer to www.resmed.com for more
information.
• Blocking the air tubing and/or air inlet of the machine while in
operation could lead to overheating of the machine.

22
• Keep the area around the machine dry, clean and clear of
anything (eg, clothes, pillows or bedding) that could block the
air inlet or cover the power supply unit.
• Do not use bleach, chlorine, alcohol, or aromatic-based
solutions, moisturizing or antibacterial soaps or scented oils to
clean the machine or air tubing. These solutions may cause
damage and reduce the life of the products.
• Do not insert any USB cable into the machine or attempt to plug
the power supply unit into a USB device. This may cause
damage to the machine or USB device.
